Thailand's first beach resort, originally a royal retreat, located on the mainland across from the Gulf. It retains a more Thai-family-oriented and upscale, yet relaxed, atmosphere compared to Pattaya. The long, sandy beach is ideal for kiteboarding and horseback riding, and the city is full of excellent seafood restaurants, golf courses, and a night market. Nearby, the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park offers limestone mountains and caves. It's an easy, elegant escape from Bangkok.
